Hermione and i rushed into the hall. We walked in and saw Ron stand up and walk further down the table to Ginny, "Think that's yours". Everyone was staring at them, she turned bright red. "actually Ron i already have my dress, that must be yours" she laughed along with her friends. Rings face turned to dread as he looked down at the frilly pink and white tux in his hands. Very quickly he sat down, everyone began laughing, including me and Hermione. Harry spotted us from the side of the room and smiled welcoming us over.
"Well Ron i think it's lovely" Hermione tried holding back her laughter. I laughed along with her not even holding it in. "God it's awful Ron" i admitted staring down at it. Harry picked at the frills on the chest, "It's ok mate you haven't even got a date yet" Harry pointed out. Ron smacked his forehead on the table and didn't come up for a while. I began getting some food and thinking about my dress, i'm dreading people are going to question why is green. It's such a nice colour and i actually got quite lucky to not have to wear the black mesh mess, but everyone's going to question why a Gryffindor is wearing such a Slytherin dress. Ron pulled his head up from the table faintly "I need to find a date, Harry you don't have one either, we can look together". Harry turned to me, i was surprised he hadn't told anyone, was he keeping it a secret? My mind began to stress heavily, maybe he just asked me so he wouldn't be left without a date last minute like Ron. A disappointment bubble burst in me, i understand that we were going just as friends (and i wouldn't have it any other way) but to still be a safe option hurt. Harry paused before replying to Ron looking at the expression on my face. "Actually Ron, i uh forgot to tell you, i'm going with Lucy" he smiled at me clearly trying to brush it off. Hermione slid away from me slightly clearly seeing the anger bubble and boil in me. "That is if you haven't found anyone else isn't it Harry" i exclaimed before standing from the table with full force. Harry tried to get some words out before i walked off. "Lucy- what are you?- why?- wait!" he yelled after me.
I could feel the whole hall staring at me their eyes burning with excitement, Hogwarts has always loved drama. I was a quarter of the way down the hall, leaving Harry clueless behind me, before i heard a lot of laughter coming from the Slytherin table. I turned my head to look at Malfoy laughing and imitating the way i stood from the table with his pathetic friend. Anger took over me and i wasn't in the mood for anyone's shit. I marched over to him fuming. He took a mocking step back and looked at his friends still grinning. "You- i can not explain my utter dislike for you, you-you-you aloof, big headed, unpleasant cockroach" i was shouting so basically the whole hall could hear. He laughed at me enjoying the show i has put on. Suddenly i snapped, i reached for my pocket and pulled out my wand pointing the end again this neck. The laughter stopped, he tilted his head backwards in panic. "Not so funny now is it?" i spat at him. My outstretched arm pressed against his neck, no one was stopping me, i had complete control. "You didn't answer me Malfoy, not so funny now is it?" power flooded my body. He laughed at me smirking, "Put the wand down Bellamy, don't be something your not, silly little girl" he mocked me in front of the whole hall. People finally dared to speak but only in slight whispers. I turned my head around and saw Harry even more shocked and confused than before, Ron looked like he was loving the performance and Hermione she looked worried sick i was going to kill Malfoy. It hit me like a bus that the whole school was staring at me. My arm loosened its grip as i turned to Malfoy smirking at me, this boy infuriates me. I realised wand from his throat and he flashed a obnoxious smile. "Clever girl" he ridiculed. Rushed i turned my heels and twisted around to get out of the hall as fast as i could. I was worried i would turn into a pile of ash from all the eyes burning straight into me. I had only gotten a few meters away. The anger still boiling in me, my fists still clenched so much i was shaking. "There you go Crabbe i told you a Gryffindor never follows through with their threats" laughing re erupted from over my shoulder. It tipped me over the edge.
"Oppugno" i pointed my wand at a nearby set of knifes and forks. I turned to look back at Malfoy, his face suddenly turned to dread as a cutlery set begins to attack him. A fork hopped down from the large oak table and landed in the centre of Malfoy's right foot He squealed in pain making the whole hall laugh. He flicked the fork off his foot and began to stride over to me angrily. That was before a pair of knives went shooting at him catching the corner of his robes and hitting the wall attaching him to the stone. He went bright red, not from anger. The whole all giggled as i turned my back on him and walked out through the doors. I heard a loud shout from Malfoy moments after and the hall went silent again. I'd left now it's no longer my problem if he carries of reigning over everyone in there.
Eventually i gave up walking around the halls and sat on a windowsill watching out of the window at the snow tumbling down from the sky. If i were in the right mood i'd be out there with the majority of people making snow men and having house snowball fights. I couldn't get out of my head why Harry hadn't told anyone. Especially our friends, just surely he would. Is he embarrassed of going with me? Am i really just the easy option? or am i over thinking all of this? I stretched one leg out over the windowsill, my whole body felt scrunched up. I heard footsteps tapping along the stone flooring briskly, Carefully i peered my head around the ledge. Harry stood there looking left and then right; right and then left; left and then forward and then right. Quickly i shoved myself back into the windowsill hoping to hide from him. But of course with my stupidity i forced myself back to fast thag i knocked my head against the window causing a ricochet noise through the glass. There was silence, then rapid footsteps coming towards my direction. A head with a scar and glasses peered round at me. "Luce?" he said my name as though it was a question. I looked over at him pretending that i never noticed he was even here . "Lucy what was that all about , getting angry at me, then Malfoy although he probably deserved it" Harry say down looking at me genuinely concerned. I tried my best to ignore him but couldn't help asking the question, "Why didn't you tell Ron? Am i just an option incase you find better to go with, i get that we aren't going as a real date but you could of told me the truth". Harry pulled back looking completely confused at what i just said. He began to laugh at me, i felt my anger stirring but i ignored it to look out of the window. "Lucy, i didn't tell Ron because i promised him that i would get a date on the same day as him so one of us wouldn't end up without a date and one of us with one!" he was laughing at me as if it was obvious. Suddenly i felt very very stupid for getting so angry. "Oh- I'm- uh sorry then i guess" i tried smiling at him as awkward-less as i could. He laughed at me "Come on we should just get back to the common room" he grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the windowsill.
We walked mostly in silence on the way to the common room, i could see Harry was in full concentration of something and didn't feel right breaking it. The majority of the way i traced my fingers along the walls and stared out of the window looking over at whatever the view was. Harry and i took no time to get there, he was still clearly thinking so i repeated the password until the singing lady let us in. Hermione and Ron were already sat on the couch deep in conversation about something, i silently took a seat and crossed my legs in place. "Hermione won't you just tell us, it's no big deal" Ron was pleading with her.
"What are we pressing H to tell us?" i entered their conversation. "Ron would like to know who i am going to the yule ball with" she replied immediately. I stared at her for a long time trying to figure out who it could be; both of them stared back at me as i did so. Finally i replied "Nope i have no clue".
"Won't you just give in and tell us, you're too stubborn" Ron crossed his arms. I looked around for Harry to see he had disappeared without saying anything. I looked around for any clues where he had gone, nothing. "Just give in won't you!" Ron begged. We laughed the rest of the night away mainly talking about Hermione's secret date. It had been a couple of hours before we finally decided to go to bed. But when i did it felt so nice to be able to fully relax.
Teal purred again my hand, but my mind was already drifting away into my pillow.
